Lauvil's manga / #Dropped(160)

I'm dropping this. It's not because it's bad, I'm just bored and see no reason to continue waiting for the story to update, when many of the chapters are stale or inconsequential to the overall story. Maybe I'll finish it one day, when the story is complete and I can binge it, but until then I'm gonna spend my time elsewhere.

This story is so boring, clichéd and predictable. The FL is bland and the ML is a walking cliché, but without any redeeming qualities, unlike others within the trope. Like, he established a Harem only to ignore all the ladies - even when they try to commit suicide or are murdered. He thinks of them as burdensome, heck he doesn't even want to pay their living costs. If you are so uninterested in taking a consort, then don't. Otherwise recognise your responsibility and take care of the ladies you've taken in. Don't just cast them aside and let them suffer. Like, wtf. Ofc the ladies in this story are all portrayed like shallow, selfish, annoying bitches to justify his actions and make the FL stand out as "the exception" and fit the "not like other girls" trope. But it's not only an overused cliché, but a stupid and mysogynistic concept.

Dropped. The characters are simply too stubborn and dumb, especially the FL. The author really wanted to drag out the tension and the romance, but we've hit a point where it's simply ridiculous. The only reason the main couple is not together, is bc the FL insists on "following the original story", even though that ship has CLEARLY sailed loooooong ago. There is no point in stubbornly clinging on to the of story, and yet the FL is CONVINCED that she knows what is best for the ML and what will make him happy, just bc she once read the book. Well, it's BS. She has clearly already changed the story and at this point it seems like she just want to play martyr to make herself feel important and generous or smth. Meanwhile, the ML is just as stubborn, clinging on to a woman who runs away from him every chance she gets. He even goes so far as to kidnap her and keep her captive - which btw is NOT romantic, dear author. If he has to resort to those kinds of methods to get the attention and companionship of his love interest, perhaps he should just give it up. She's not the only woman out there and however hurtful it is to let a love end, you'll overcome it eventually. I'm so done with this.

It was kinda cute in the beginning, even though the story is pretty cliché. But now I'm just kinda bored. The dynamic is pretty much just the same and there's so little tension and chemistry between the main couple it's ridiculous. I don't wanna be bored anymore, so I'm dropping this.

Dunno if this is good or bad yet. Guess we'll see...
